    We have SAFe at my office too. It seems to me that it’s just a way to say you’re agile while still being waterfall.

      We also do SAFe, I think they buy it for the name. We’re reasonably agile except we don’t choose our work, our input on feature sizing is ignored, we get told off for failing to deliver on time, we’re not encouraged to demo work to business

      At least we do have scrum masters and sometimes product owners and work vaguely to sprints

      Test is the least agile as they have an 80 page document on how to document testing and it’s impossible for them to have admin done in time to actually start testing until sprint 2. Since we went to using Git, build is unlikely to finish anything quickly as the automated unit tests are time consuming

      I have been a scrum master and it’s almost fun in that role to try to make a team more agile
